Sending Email
Sending Email
You can send an email to all users enrolled (in Blackboard) in your course, or to selected individuals. In the Course Management menu, click on Course Tools, then Send Email. A screen will appear to help you select email recipients. You'll probably want to click on All Users, All Student Users, or Single/Select Users. If you click on Single/Select Users, you'll be shown a list of users in your class, and can click on individuals one by one to include them as recipients of your email.
Once you've identified the recipients, you'll come to a screen that lets you type in a subject and a message, and optionally attach a file. Use the Text Editor to create your message with text and/or images.
Click the box labeled "A copy of this email will be sent to the sender" if you want to receive a copy of the message in your own email account.
Click the Submit button at the lower right of the screen to save and send your email message.
Note that Blackboard will automatically add the course name and course ID to the subject line of the message. Each student will receive the email message in the email account listed for them in Blackboard, which is almost always their @my.loyno.edu address. The email will be sent to all recipients from "do-not-reply@blackboard.com."
